5 Times Foul-Mouthed Announcers Dropped The F-Bomb
4. Mean Gene Okerlund
A luscious blooper from the live pay-per-view edition of SummerSlam 1989, Mean Gene Okerlund's four-letter flub as the show's logo crashes to the floor behind him survives to this day thanks to the glory of decades-old home taping and the company's ability to (sometimes) make fun of itself in the present day.
Original footage began circulating on YouTube of Gene's shocked "f*ck it!" as the sign made him jump. Rude and Heenan both playing it cool completes the hilarious scene before the shot cuts quickly back to the crowd whilst Tony Schiavone and a howling Jesse Ventura fill time waiting for round two of the promo.
The viral success of the clip resulted in WWE eventually embracing the gaffe, digging out the footage from their archives to use in various features at the legendary announcer's expense.
Okerlund famously screamed at a stagehand to "PUT THAT CIGARETTE OUT" during his interview with brand new WWE Champion Ric Flair following his Royal Rumble 1992 victory, but he did at least manage to deliver that b*llocking without need for a post-production cleanup.
